It’s…fine. My biggest issue is that it’s generally kinda boring, but I find that to be true of all of RL’s stuff.

Don’t they usually go good-bad-good-bad in world cups? I realize ‘18/‘22 went against that pattern, but 98/02/06/10 was firmly in that vein

Convinced a friend to go to an intl game once - he was hesitant “I don’t really like soccer much”. I told him you’re not going to watch the soccer, you’re going to watch the crowd.

He had a blast.

So is the idea that the problem was all Porter? We keep everyone else and suddenly we’ll get better results?!

For a results business, it doesn’t seem like the results are hurting anyone but the fans.

In the vast majority of cases, it feels like time-limiting tests is mostly about limiting the amount of time proctors have to be available so that you can ensure the student did the work.

I think you have to be really careful to avoid messaging around “don’t take that shot” or “that’s a bad shot” especially if you want kids to play free.
